Pea Gravel,regular Gravel,or Sand

I was wondering which do you guys like more for looks and which could look better and be good for my cories

Think sand is supposed to be the best substrate for corys.

....and looks better.

yea but my sand is not that white and has alot of black pebbles and is always cloudubg my water up.

I have very very small gravel smaller than pea gravel, but its the same colour as sand and looks like sand from a distance, the corries dig in that the same as when they had sand, and their barbels are still long so no wearing down of them.

Changed back as found sand a bit hard to keep clean and looking the way I wanted it to.

I think sand is the best for corries, and a lot of people swear by it, this is my compromise.

yea I just changed from sand to gravel because sand was too hard to keep clean and the barbles on my cories havent worn down from 2 years on being on gravel so I think they will be fine
